Alex Lowe and his Tree-Climbing Pup

This week, the brilliant Alex Lowe joins us - and brings one of the most unbelievable dog stories we’ve ever heard. His rescue dog Millie doesn’t just chase squirrels… she climbs trees. 30 foot ones. We also hear about life at home with Millie, her dog song, and the slightly chaotic reality of working from home with a very needy pup. Elsewhere, there’s the near-disastrous Juniper and the Toblerone incident, some genuinely useful dog training wins, and Jack delivers a hauntingly accurate rendition of the old Toblerone advert. Oh, and Sean records the intro from a car in Piccadilly Circus. Obviously.
